Big Money from a Simple Writing Idea!
| Category: E-books | Date: 2001-12-28 |
There are two ways to get paid for writing. You can write an article, and then try and sell that article. If you're really lucky a big magazine might buy the article and send you a check for a few hundred bucks. Maybe even several hundred dollars or a thousand.
Or two, you can research a subject, create a simple homemade booklet or E-book about that subject, and sell that booklet over and over for the next twenty years, and build an entire business around your little writing project.
I sell thousands and thousands of dollars worth of homemade booklets and videos, both on-line and via mail order. It's a great way to make money at home. Now I sell a lot of E-books, and I'll let you in on a little secret. That's the easiest money I've ever earned in my life!
Hundreds of thousands of people are looking for a way to make money at home. You can profit by providing them with simple information about how they can do just that.

There are hundreds of ideas just like this that you could write a homemade booklet or E-book about and really cash in.
A visitor to my website told me that he had made a couple of memorial videos for family members that had past away, and he was thinking about starting a home based business offering this service to others. Is there a market for such a service? I'm sure there is.
But my idea is to make memoir videos instead of memorial videos. The difference is the subject of the video is still alive when the video is done, and is an active participant. These videos will sell much easier because the customer doesn't have to do much work at all. With a memorial video they have to gather dozens and dozens of photos, and people are natural procrastinators.
Think about it. Do you have video of your elderly parents or grandparents. What kind of video is it? If your video is like most of ours, Grandma and Grandpa are just sitting on the porch starring at the camera.
Despite what most people think, these unique individuals would love to tell their story. They might not be too crazy about telling it to a camera, but if it's done with someone interviewing them, I am sure that most would be proud to have their history in this life recorded.
Keep in mind, I'm not telling you start your own video taping business. You're a writer. I'm going to show you how to make really good money writing a homemade booklet or E-book that teaches people that are interested in starting a home based business how to do so.
Back to the memoir video idea.
How valuable do you think a video such as this would be to an elderly persons children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren? And once a person did one, the referrals that they would get would be incredible. Especially if the video is really well done. You could suggest to your reader that they insert sections of still pictures with background music in between the interview.
You could add sections to your booklet or E-book that would show your reader how to create additional profit centers within their little home based business.
For instance you could recommend that while they are there doing the interview, they could snap a few photographs of Grandma and Grandpa with a 35 millimeter camera and offer the family members enlargements. This could really boost the profit of each job.
By just taking the subject outside on the patio, they could actually snap some priceless photos. Candid, casual photos of grandparents are special. Imagine Grandma planting a great big kiss on Grandpa's cheek. Priceless! A person does not have to have photography skills anywhere near expert level to get really good photos. Especially of elderly people just being themselves. Most families have so few good photos of Grandma and Grandpa.
As you are writing add a section to your booklet or E-book about taking and selling photos of the family pet. Pet owners are fanatical about their pets. They love them like a family member and would love to have a beautiful photo of them for the wall.
Now I'm not suggesting that you recommend selling these photos to Grandma Grandpa on their fixed income. Suggest that your readers sell the pet photos to the children of Grandma and Grandpa, and they can give them to their parents as gifts.
Another profit center you could recommend to your readers is a website where they could create a page for each family they photograph and video tape. Family members could visit the website to view the photos, and order photos if they like. Suggest they mail a post card to each family member with the URL of the webpage. Leave the page up for several months and mail to them several times. They can make their selection, and order the photos right from the website.
Are the wheels turning? They should be.
Not only could this be a nice little home based business, but it would make an excellent homemade booklet or E-book. There are tens of thousands of people looking for a way to make some extra money from home. You would be doing them a great service by giving them the information they need about starting their very own home based business.
Do you realize how writing and selling a simple homemade booklet or E-book like this could be an incredible business for you?
It was a booklet as simple as the one I am suggesting you write that launched me into the world of writing, self publishing, E-book publishing, and becoming somewhat of an internet expert. That one homemade booklet is responsible for the success of my very popular gardening website http://www.freeplants.com
That booklet has now become a very popular E-book that I am proud to say is selling well all over the world. In a million years I never thought that I would be a successful writer, let alone a writer whose work is popular around the world. Writing is by far one of the most exciting careers you can pursue. The possibilities are endless, and the potential is enormous.
Writing a simple homemade booklet or E-book with a "How to" theme could catapult your writing career farther and faster than you could imagine, if only you take the right approach and use the right marketing skills.
All you have to do is find a good idea, and start writing your way to success and maybe even fame and fortune! A good idea doesn't have to be a ground shaking idea, nor does it have to be original. I'll show you how to find old ideas and breath new life into them.
Start writing and work out the details later.
